Kristie Garcia

Kristie Garcia serves as a key procurement professional within the Pbs R8 Office of Leasing, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she manages the acquisition of nonresidential real estate to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her role centers on executing full-life-cycle leasing contracts for office, operational, and mission-critical facilities, ensuring compliance with federal space standards, security protocols, and accessibility requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act. She oversees the negotiation, award, and administration of leases that align with GSA’s strategic goals of space optimization, cost efficiency, and long-term sustainability in federal real estate portfolio management. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the procurement record, Garcia works within a standardized leasing framework that engages commercial real estate owners, property managers, and facilities service providers with proven experience in federal lease compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive solicitation under FAR Part 17 and GSA’s Leasing Policy, fostering transparent, open-market engagement with landlords and real estate firms capable of delivering turnkey leased space solutions. Garcia’s procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a preference for open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This pattern suggests a focus on facility suitability, location, and operational readiness over socioeconomic criteria, consistent with the nature of real property leasing where ownership and physical infrastructure dominate selection criteria. Her primary technical domain is NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where she specializes in procuring leased office space, data center facilities, and administrative workspaces. She evaluates properties based on building class, square footage, utility infrastructure, security certifications, and proximity to federal service hubs, demonstrating deep expertise in federal real property acquisition and lease administration.
